Why do my sneakers create holes in my socks when I go hiking?

I go trail running pretty frequently and my sneakers create holes in the back of my socks. After about two hours of trail running up and down hills and hiking I get holes in my sock about where my achilles tendon is. I'm wearing mid calf socks. Is there something I can do to prevent this?

The place where you get a hole is where there is excessive rubbing. You might be able to try an insert that might help your stride. Places that sell insoles or orthotics usually do free evualations. I highly recommend that you check it out. Inserts are not just for old people or those with super wide feet.

    Sounds like they're loose in the heel, rubbing up and down and up and down and so on.

    The shoes simply do not fit correctly. They're rubbing with every step because your foot isn't fitting well.
